> Sub 10% of 1 billion is 7 figures

8 figures, not 7




I meant sub 10% of 28%, which is what the other FB founders got but you’re right that could be low 8 figures even after taxes.

Except you also take a pay cut for several of those years so your benefit from a billion dollar IPO over non startup really can be 6 figures if you’re not the CEO.


* can be 7 figures if you’re not the CEO.

Though obviously if the unicorn is worth 20B things look vastly better even with a 2% stake.
